"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"amazing, amazing, amazing ANC performance for earbuds! ... not even close in ANC performance vs these (Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024)) ... I, for ANC, prefer the approach Bose takes, blocking out pretty much all frequencies."
"Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM."
"The fit, comfort, sound, and ANC are the best I've experienced. ... all the rest have markedly inferior ANC."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."

"I went on an 18 mile hike today on technical trails and they felt like air on my feet"
"Regarding the treble, definitely an improvement compared to the ZS10 PRO X; They are not sharp like their ancestor, they are well detailed, but they do not penetrate your ear causing that characteristic discomfort. It's so soft to hear the cymbals sizzle after the beat, but without that feeling of penetration."
"The audio is also 20% better with OpenDots One, as they have dual drivers on each side. ... At 50% volume and below, I would say I could not distinguish the audio quality compare to my semi in ear buds. ... If you are just listening to podcast and non heavy bass music, even at high volume, the quality is very good and it could easily drown the surrounding noise (somewhat ANC). ... it's far better in sound quality and comfort compared to the C40i. ... these are worth the upgrade based on audio, comfort and call quality."

"the dragon 12s are closer to REL 8/12 subs. ... No soundbar has anything close to this sub available. ... The 12s alone make this system untouchable by any other home theater in a box. No comparison!! ... Couple the 12”subs into the experience, you’re not getting that experience short of Svs sub territory. ... It’s a house shaking, chest thumping experience that is not able to be reproduced by any other soundbar or home theater in a box. ... Adding the two 12s to the 8s really has taken the system to the next level. ... The house literally shakes now with honest chest thumping levels. ... BTW, the 12s are RELs! ... The 90 lbs behemoths in the room! ... The chuffing from the 8s many reviewers have noted is gone when used with the 12s."
"nothing trust me nothing will literally hit u that hard not even Canelo Alvarez"
"IER not having absolutely incredible bass is objectively BS. ... The bass reading on the IER is so off what you'll actually hear if you have them inserted properly, it's absolutely ridiculous. ... I have Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM'D which are their heaviest hitting premium model - CIEM-ing it only make the bass hit much harder, and it's still not quite as heavy as the IER."

"USE THE STOCK ONES, any other tip I tried outside the stock ones, really make the ANC WAY worse, by 60% I would say, and it’s not an exaggeration"
"having somewhat of a shittier ANC. ... For the use of buses or even home, don't even think about it, the ANC goes crazy with the sound of the engine and the passive noise reduction is almost non present. ... I'd rather not having headphones in the bus and actively listen to the engine than to have these headphones and having to actually listen to the engine as well + weird ANC noises + doghsit quality audio. ... this newer model somehow improves in actually nothing and somehow got an even worse ANC even though the first already barely even had at all. ... ANC: it does contain it, but it does not contain it. ... Bluetooth buds have one purpose which is having ANC, and sounding slightly good. These couldn't even deliver on that."

"I am lmfao when u said that the nothing transparency is trash. ... That what makes me not want to use them sometimes. ... It really is hot garbage lol."
"Their transparency is horrible, with lots of white noise and a weird muffled feel, earning a low 4/10."
"The transparency is trash though."

"Only complaint is the in ear detection mode sucks with pausing and playback"
The nothing ear has absolutely terrible ANC. As a bonus, it amplifies high frequencies such as cutlery and keys clattering, and for some reasons also amplifies cars passing by. All of this in high mode. On a busy street, you're probably better off turning of ANC and just relying in the passive isolation. Transparency mode is also worse than talking with them on with ANC off. Also of it's windy where you live you might as well turn ANC off as it has zero wind detection. Everything else from app to controls iäand sound quality is excellent though. Weirdest past is, cmf buds pro 2/plus both have vastly improved ANC.
r/galaxybuds • Nothing ear (2024) vs Galaxy Buds 3 pro ->I personally I think cmf 2pro have better sound than plus
r/PakistaniTech • Wireless earbuds under 16k ->Just bought nothing buds 2 plus and loving them.
r/Jabra • What buds are people going for now we can't go for Jabra? ->Headphone (1) has a full parametric eq so you can really tune them to your listening preferences. Same with Ear products, I have ear(2) and ear 2024 and they are both really fine tuned for myself and they take to it really well. I have noticed their default tuning has a ton of sibliance though but you can eq most of that out
r/CMFTech • Best headphones i have had so far! ->Look into the CMF Buds 2 Plus. Superior to the pro 2. I have them and the sound quality is great for the price. Only complaint is the in ear detection mode sucks with pausing and playback
r/Earbuds • I've been struggling for a month now ->Nothing ear buds. They're class. You can control them from the case as well which is easy. I'm not mad on touch controls on buds. https://ie.nothing.tech/products/cmf-buds-2-plus?Colour=Light+Grey
r/AskIreland • Any recommendations for cheap in ear headphones that will stick in your ear when running? ->Cmf buds 2 eller nothing, äger nothing och provat cmf är helt fantastiska, ljudisoleringen är något bättre i cmf men du får lite mer bas i nothing ear.
r/Earbuds • Help me choose tws earbuds ->I suggest checking out Picky's Spreadsheets, linked in his comments section. You have to go through a checkout process, but it's pay what you want etc. Out of all the reviewers with the Exception of El Jeffe, The buds I own when compared to his findings are very similar. [https://youtu.be/-nWkcwUi394?si=Hnd1VMy4PAl77QnZ](https://youtu.be/-nWkcwUi394?si=Hnd1VMy4PAl77QnZ) To Qualify, I'm a daily airpods pro 2/ One Plus Pro 3, Earfun Air Pro 4 guy. I own a lot of other buds I think i'm up to about 70 or 80 pair total. :-S including the Bose QC and the only time I use them is when i'm on road trips with my 8 year olds. I Own and have Owned, Sennheisers, Technics, Nural, Denon, B&W, HK, M&D etc and I just will no longer buy earbuds over $120 with the exception of a few. Granted, I own an Iphone, so LDAC and other loseless codecs are out of the picture for me. The One Plus 4's launch tomorrow and if they are even close to the 3's they are going to Cook as an all arounder. My immediate Rec. is the Earfun Air Pro 4, SoundPeats AirPro5 or the CFM 3 Plus. All solid offerings in the $70 range, for under $300, you can get all 3 ;-) I had the Technics AZ80 and 100 from wha I remember I really like the 100's sound but there were features about them that drove me nuts and I returned them. I'd suggest just pointing your wallet toward amazon and buying several pair and testing out what you like, Return what you don't, but there is very little reason in my mind to spend airpod money when the tech coming out of china is now almost identical. You could also check out this blast from the Past. The MW07 Plus, super cheap now. And they sound really nice.

r/Earbuds • Best earbuds $300 or Less ->I just picked up the new CMF Buds 2 Plus that were released in May on Amazon. They are made by the Nothing Tech company and use the Nothing app. I’m very impressed with their clarity and impressive bass using a 12 mm driver. Definitely worth checking out for $69… https://us.nothing.tech/products/cmf-buds-2-plus
r/Earbuds • Looking for best ANC/Transparency Earbuds for outdoor work, without going straight to $300.. Ideally around $100. ->I got the CMF by Nothing recently and like them better than the Status buds (which don’t fit my apparently-weird ears well) and I love them so much I’m upgrading to the Nothing Ear tomorrow lol. Very excited I found this sub and this rec cause I never would’ve found these otherwise!
